Race and… Conversations Around Intersectionality: March 3, 10, 17, 24, and April 7, 14, in Room 203
What does race have to do with climate change? Criminal justice reform? LGBTQ rights? In this 6-week series, we will learn about a different social justice issue each week to discover how race and racism relate to other causes Pullenites are passionate about because injustice does not exist in a vacuum. Every aspect of Pullen’s radical vision for justice-love has a racial dimension, and seeking our collective liberation must include dismantling racism in all the many ways it shows up in the world.
March 3: Environmental Racism and Climate Change (Grace Evans and Gail Powell)
March 10: Education (Maggie Zeillmann)
March 17: Criminal Justice (Rev. Chalice Overy)
March 24: Gender and Sexuality (Rev. Ian McPherson, Chris Schwertman)
April 7: Healthcare (Dr. Jeremy Mani). Dr. Mani is a first-year pediatric neurology resident at Emory University. He spent much of his college and graduate school learning about healthcare disparities and how larger systems across the country can affect the lives and well-being of individuals from every walk of life. He is a strong advocate for his patients and loves what he does! Jeremy comes from a long tradition of Indian Orthodox Christianity and tries to live with Love and spread that Love in what he does every day. He is so grateful for this opportunity to have conversations about anti-racism from the lens of medicine and faith!
April 14: Disability (Jill Hinton)
